So nice to see DD#1, glad she was able to make this a stopover place. The man had a fun time at the Coe vs UWEC exciting game I’m told.
3 copy work projects came in while I was gone. Will get them done before Mass.
More books sorted, many more to go.

Coffee excellent
The hand continues to improve, sensitivity still too high. Fatigues easily while driving, will have to make some adjustments in that area.
DD#1 stayed over last evening. She, the man, the boy & his girl are headed to UW-EauClaire to the game @ 1. G’son plays for Coe. DD didn’t seem interested in using my WI bag. Hmmm.
Spare room back in order. Still have touch-up painting and trim painting to complete, an area rug to find, & a sliding door to hang, but that is for another day. I am pleased with the results thus far. Just something about car siding on the ceiling that makes a room interesting.
Next year’s planner arrived, as did the book embosser… both are above and beyond expectations. Expecting two more packages today and a couple next week, Nice to get some shopping done ahead of time.
Old papers still need more sorting. Tidious job to go thru them all but must get done. I cannot imagine someone else having to do this once we are dead and gone.
Fall is upon us here in the driftless. Beanfields have started to turn golden, the cornstalks have started to dry, and the scramble for that last cut of hay is on. Fall flowers have brightened the gardens, and summer flowers have given up their last blooms. Soon the fallow time will be upon us. May we all take heed of God’s plan to rest.

The hand… improved however still super sensitive . Lakota Made “Pain Salve” helps. https://www.lakotamade.com/
Not so patiently waiting for packages. MTI quitting mail transport delivery is causing a backup at the PO; believe me, they had issues before this. Very short on delivery carriers. I am fortunate with my carrier, she’s sharp, precise, and punctual. Not to mention overworked.
The man will finish the ceiling in the spare room today. I’m excited about having that room back together and functioning. Still looking for an area rug but I have a vintage in mind so may be a while.
Today I have an early pick up and drop off, then to LaCrosse for a vision appt. Hopefully home by noon to get things in place before KA arrives.
In the Catholic Tradition let’s talk about the Most Trinity…
-The bonds of love between God and us: broken by sin, restored by redemption.
-The bond between Jesus and us should be intimate like that of husband and wife.
-The bond between the Holy Spirit… our body should be a temple for him, never allowing sin to
deprive us of him.
Tall order for us but nothing is impossible.
Blast from the past… Thanks, SF
Everybody’s Fancy
Written by Fred Rogers | © 1967, Fred M. Rogers
Some are fancy on the outside.
Some are fancy on the inside.
Everybody’s fancy.
Everybody’s fine.
Your body’s fancy and so is mine.
Boys are boys from the beginning.
Girls are girls right from the start.
Everybody’s fancy.
Everybody’s fine.
Your body’s fancy and so is mine.
Only girls can be the mommies.
Only boys can be the daddies.
Everybody’s fancy.
Everybody’s fine.
Your body’s fancy and so is mine.
I think you’re a special person
And I like your ins and outsides.
Everybody’s fancy.
Everybody’s fine.
Your body’s fancy and so is mine.

I don’t know about you but I have had all I can take of the Harris/Walz team. They have a profoundly evil platform. How can they live with the things they want to do? They are systematically destroying the middle and lower class of the US by abortion, free programs, and openly promoting intrinsically evil programs. I’ve also had about enough of the Trump/Vance hype and drama. So that leaves us with how do you vote when all the choices are bad? For me it means “who stands for life” because without life there is no country, no vote, no reason to vote. So the question remains who stands for life the most? Who believes in God (really believes it)? Whose programs promote the good of the whole the most? Who has the best moral standard? Choose that one before there is nothing left.

Woke this morning with little or no hypersensitivity in right hand. After being up a while it has returned but progress has been made. Reflexology is working. I see her again in 2wks.
Nice short visit with KA last night. Will see her again on Fri.
The man is taking my workers today. Not sure what I would do without him.
Remember 9. 1. 1. May God have mercy on them, may they rest in peace.

Sessi how are you feeling
Awesome Fall Fest parade yesterday
What fun! Thanks to P&T for coming for supper. Great conversation, and wonderful food. Why is it we wait so long between times to do this?
The hand, no bandage or brace; still numb & tingly as well as fatigued. Today I see the chiro and hopefully her work on the shoulder will help alleviate the problem.
Matthew 12:30 “Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters.” Finish the rest of the chapter while you are reading. It gives the perfect answer as to why the world has become what it is.

Today we remember my brother JO may he rest in peace.
Fun day yesterday with the man. Visited AB at here worksite, Lunched with K&S at Fugi’s, and stopped at a resale shop.
Today is Mass at St Mary’s and the fall fest parade, then a small fest with friends here at the house. I love being close enough to the formation grounds that all can be seen from the porch. Feel free to stop before, during, and after the parade.
The hand
Thumb, index, & middle finger numb with pins and needles exhibiting hyper sensitivity.
The brace, makes it worse.
The bandage adhesive makes it worse.
Incision looks great.
Stitches come out on Tues.
Still cannot use a fork or write.
Typing is interesting,
my HS typing teacher
would be reprimanding me in regards to my finger use.
The hand gets tired easily,
the elbow hurts and
the nerve that runs up the arm makes itself known in my shoulder.
I see Pene on Tues and Tracy on Weds.
Hopefully that will change things.
The man will take my runs again.

Brrrr, fall is upon us. Time to order a furnace ck, remove the A/C units, and get out the flannel sheets.
Wrist braces arrived… they make the pain worse. Probably because there is a strap around the thumb and that area is highly sensitive to touch. Sigh. Will find the lambs wool fabric maybe that will help.
Mtg K&S in DBQ about 3 this afternoon. They are on a rescue dog run. Looks like mass will be in DBQ today.
Fall Fest weekend in the village. There was a time when we were very involved in the entire process. Now we sit on the porch and watch it all.
